Description

A UDM_MGR_ACCESS UACL entry either allows or denies access to Universal Data Mover Server services based on the host name and/or user of the Manager trying to initiate a UDM session.

If access is permitted, UDM_MGR_ACCESS also specifies whether or not user authentication is required.

A udm_mgr_access UACL entry is matched if all of the following occur:

  • Request comes from a Manager initiated on host name identified by host. This is the machine host name, which may or may not be equivalent to the host DNS name.
  • Manager is executing as user manager_user.
  • Manager is requesting to execute a command as local user local_user.

The first matching rule is used to control access.

See UACL Entries for details on host, manager_user, and local_user specification syntax.

CAUTION!

Managers earlier than 3.2.0 supply neither a manager host name nor a manager user ID. Therefore, other than host name ALL and Manager user ID *, requests from managers earlier than 3.2.0 will never match a rule. Setting this rule in networks containing managers earlier than 3.2.0 requires careful planning.
